DAR WILLIAMS WRITES:

In today’s music landscape, the impact of introspective and honest lyrics across a full album is often lost at the expense of the single or a viral video. But in the early nineties, Dar Williams’ The Honesty Room struck a chord and captured a moment in time: A rare time in music when the listener was as likely to hear Tori Amos on the radio as Nine Inch Nails and honesty/raw emotion was paramount. Lilith Fair sold as well as Ozzfest and strong songs were more important than image or anything else. Lyrics still came with an album and people connected on a very personal level with a variety of themes and experiences detailed painstakingly on albums like The Honesty Room and more. Twenty years later, The Honesty Room endures, carrying with it an unparalleled legacy and an enduring sense of optimism. Dar Williams performs The Honesty Room in full at 8PM on Saturday December 13th at the Calvin Theatre. Jill Sobule opens. Special guests are anticipated. — www.darwilliams.com
